Im setting up a new tank and I just cleaned out the whole tank and have been adding as much RO/DI water as I can make each day. I broke a valve on my unit twice now tightening it to hard thats why its taking so long to fill this 180 gallon. Once its pretty full I plan to mix the sand and nutrients in tank for a whole day then add my live sand and re set up my sump fuge. The tanks almost there.

Does anyone have input on the best way to do this? I would appreciate your tips.
